cobramaster12000 Well what can I tell you. When the boy starts to act like a talk show host..HILARIOUS!!! The cussing....well i don't like demonic possession movies with cussing. I like demonic possession movies that show physical strength of the supernatural like the classic THE EXORCIST. And in my opinion THE EXORCIST's sister THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE. Those films were great films. I loved them!!! But this was a disappointment. Wasn't scary...the demons voice was rather weird. One of the things i found cool was when he says "There is no single name. I am Legion. We are many." That was cool. When he say's his name in Latin...that was OK. It wasn't the best movie i have seen. THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE was awesome. THE EXORCIST was cool. But this is just a plain embarrassment to a modern day Hollywood horror movie. I think if you make an exorcism movie it should be as scary as THE EXORCIST and as intense as THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE. And by intense i don't mean cussing or anything like that. They could have done better than this. I know they could have.-Sorry for the horrible review but i want a decent horror movie. Not this load of crap.

denver2005 I watched this movie on Showtime when it aired for the very first time. I really enjoyed it as it was based upon a true story. I found out in the past year that this particular story was the main inspiration for "The Exorcist." I now own the movie on DVD. I also found it a great deal more scary than "The Exorcist" since it was based upon a true story. I am really into true story type movies. I really hope that other people enjoy this movie. I hope to someday travel to the town and search out the place where they were finally able to successfully exorcise what was inside of the boy. I also felt that Timothy Dalton was excellent in his role and he made his character more human and someone the general public could be empathetic to.

lord woodburry One faces the inexplicable beyond the reaches of western scientificism and one reaches into the grey realm of faith and skepticism. Welsh born actor Timothy Dalton plays a persuasive American Irish priest Father Willam Bowden taking cover in superficial faith from the horrors of world war II; yet in pursuit of that faith, Father Willam Bowden comes directly into the grasp of Satan. He must struggle not only with Old Scratch but also with the Romanish Church hierarchy which despite its mideaval costumes and time worn ceremonies would like to modernize and depart from some of the smoke, fire and brimstone.Though Father Willam Bowden whose personal weaknesses particularly for alcohol are probably known might not be the best choice to perform the ancient ritual, Archbishop Hume (Christopher Plummer) chooses Rev Bowden to perform the rite.Can Reverend Bowden overcome both his past and the curlish Roman Church hierarchy more interested in political standing than preaching to drive away the Devil? See Possessed.

are77 The biggest problem with this movie is the kid. Ginger hair and freckles? Possessed by the Devil. Its not scary, its hilarious. The kid does a decent job, but he is horribly miscast. Timothy Dalton redeems things a bit with a convincing performance, which must have been almost impossible given the obvious handicap.As a story it almost succeeds. As a scary movie it sucks.
